Welcome to the Git Advanced tutorial! Whether you're a seasoned developer or just diving deeper into version control, this guide will help you unlock advanced Git techniques. 🚀

Key Concepts in Git Advanced

1. Git Workflow Optimization

  • Rebase vs Merge: Use git rebase to keep a linear commit history, while git merge preserves merge commits. ⚙️
  • Interactive Rebase: Edit, squash, or reorder commits with git rebase -i. 📜
  • Cherry-Picking: Apply specific commits from one branch to another. 🍒

2. Advanced Commands

  • git stash: Temporarily save changes not ready to be committed. 🧱
  • git blame: Identify who last modified lines in a file. 🔍
  • git reflog: Recover lost commits or branches. ⏳

3. Branching Strategies

  • Git Flow: A structured workflow for managing features, releases, and hotfixes. 📌
  • Trunk-Based Development: Focus on short-lived branches for rapid iteration. 📈
  • Merge Squash: Simplify history by squashing multiple commits into one. 🧺

4. Remote Repository Management

  • git remote -v: View remote repository details. 🌐
  • git fetch: Retrieve data from a remote without merging. 📡
  • git push --force: Override history on remote branches (use with caution). ⚠️

5. Git Hooks

  • Automate tasks with pre-commit, post-receive, or pre-push hooks. 📌
  • Example: Use pre-commit to run linters before committing code. 🛡️
